If you haven't heard, the CrossFit Open is just around the corner (50 days to be exact). There are a lot of new folks at the gym, so let me explain the Open. Every week, starting Feb.26th, CrossFit.com posts a workout every 5 weeks. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world complete the same 5 workouts, with a chance to log their scores on the worldwide leaderboard. The Open is made for everyone - and that couldn't be more true this year. For the first time, CrossFit is introducing a scaled division, so each week you have the option of going Rx'd or opting for the scale. All the workouts are performed at CrossFit Moncton, surrounded by your supporting peers. We'll be programming a lot of the previous Open workouts leading up to this year's event. So sit back, enjoy the ride, and see you at the Open!If you weren't here on Dec.23rd, you have the option of doing Deadlifts - 5RMIf you were here, you'll be doing Deadlifts x10 (45-50-55-60%)"Open 11.6/12.5"Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of the following rep scheme:100 pound Thruster, 3 reps3 Chest to bar Pull-ups100 pound Thruster, 6 reps6 Chest to bar Pull-ups100 pound Thruster, 9 reps9 Chest to bar Pull-ups100 pound Thruster, 12 reps12 Chest to bar Pull-ups100 pound Thruster, 15 reps15 Chest to bar Pull-upsEtc.This is a timed workout.
